Voyager

Is it possible to improve the alt/accessibility text editor in the image post composer? I don’t know if the Lemmy spec supports it, but a multiline text editor would be great if so.

On that note, is it possible to preview the alt/accessibility text? I also don’t see where to view it on a live post.

Thanks!

Hi folks! First of all, huge appreciation for this insane lemmy client. I‘ve been using it for two years roughly and I‘m over the moon about it.

I want this app to be even more wonderful so I wanted to share my idea for a more integrated search:

Currently, when you‘re on a small instance like mine, you dont see every community on every server you are connected to due to the way AP works.

For that reason, I would love to see all communities and be able to subscribe to them by using lemmyverse.net as a search option.

Steps to reproduce

1. make new instance
2. add user
3. connect with voyager
4. type anything in the search bar
5. find nothing

Btw I know we already have the „discover“ option but it works different from what I‘m suggesting and is less intuitive and more cluttered than my approach imo.

Suggested behavior

1. You hit search and get „lemmyverse.net“ as a search option
2. click it
3. see all communities with the content you searched for
4. hit subscribe
5. get content

I hope this makes sense to you as I think this will boost the discoverability of lemmy by a huge margin! This would also probably be a unique feature, setting voyager even more apart from other clients (and of course be a great role model for them to follow).

Thanks for reading and have a good one.

It would be nice if it could be disabled, or set to a longer swipe like with in the main one. I can't even remember which community I last unsubbed from accident, just because a scroll was too diagonal for the app.

Pretty much the title. Some of us want to reduce the amount of time we spend browsing NSFW communities, but as it stands it's too easy to just turn the slider off.

I'm requesting an improvement in the options where you can make the slider permanently locked upon user request (similar to what Infinity for Reddit app has done).

Thanks.

Be grateful

Update - can see the original mow

Even just an option to set the primary app theme color based on Material You would be nice, but the option to use surface colors from Material You would be nice as well.

Not asking for any changes to the design or layout (Android mode is perfect) just specifically the Material You colors

Display names (e.g. my display name "Juniper (she/her) 🫐") don't seem to be supported, leaving just usernames. It would be nice if display names were supported. Also, profile pictures would be nice, but I recognize that has been requested separately already.

Currently in filters and blocks, all the “Add instance/community/user” are at the bottom of the list. I have a large filter list requiring a lot of scrolling to reach the bottom.

Would it be possible to have this at the top instead?

Alternatively, when selecting a community to block (vis the … menu) is there a way to block the whole instance that community is hosted on? Primary use to block instances that are non-english.

I just wanna browse all without getting spammed with posts.

It's stupid that Lemmy doesn't have an NSFL tag after decade of people complaining that reddit doesn't have one. but I'll settle for this.

Hi! I just want to ask if we can have more app icons? Even if some of them have attached “donations” :) ?

Is there a way to automatically upvote on reply?

Often when I tap on the title of a post, rather than opening the post, it takes me to OP's profile. I think maybe there might be an overlay between the title of a post and the tap area for the OP's handle, or I'm fat-fingering it. Either way, it's a little frustrating.

I would like to disable the ability to go to someone's profile directly from my feed so that it takes me to the post whenever I tap anywhere in the title/author/community area. If I would like to go to OP's profile or the community, I could do so from inside the post. Sync has this option as a setting as shown in this screenshot :

I can't find it in Voyager. Is there a way to set this up in Voyager?

I’ve been having an intermittent issue (usually every day or two) where my default view keeps getting reverted to “Large” instead of “Compact”. I haven’t been able to figure out any particular pattern to it thus far, but wanted to see if anyone has had similar issues. It typically happens when opening the app for the first time in a while, but has actually happened two or three times today.

Is there maybe a gesture I’m accidentally triggering when I close the app?

The last three options are not working for me. Sometimes I don't save some useful posts thinking I can find them later in the specific community but then I realized none of the options are respected, posts keep getting hidden. I have disabled auto-hide but it still hides posts on refresh.

I'm on android 14.

Edit: I ticked "Show read posts" in my lemmy account settings on a browser and now everything works.

The new feature is really nice, its a great visual aid! Thank you voyager for adding it!

Should it also show up for bang ! referenced communities like [email protected] ?

or the discussion of new community posts https://sopuli.xyz/post/15865680

Old Reddit with Reddit Enhancement Suite used to allow the user to see the number of upvotes and downvotes on a post that comprised the score. It was nice to know if a post with a score of -10 was 3 upvotes and 13 downvotes or 103 upvotes with 113 downvotes.

Some communities, like fark, let you annotate users that you interact with so that when you interact with them in the future have an idea about the previous context with them.

I think that would be a good feature for lemmy, able to add a note/nick name that displays any time you see a comment or post by that user

Since about three days ago, I keep seeing read posts on my feeds (local, all, etc)

I have disabled the switch to show read posts. I have also tapped the button that hides read posts. The posts appear as read, with a different font color in their title. But they are just not hidden.

I have checked the GitHub issue tracker and this community and have found no other person raising this issue. Therefore I assume I must be doing something wrong. But what? I have not touched my settings basically since I installed voyager. Did a recent update break the “hide read posts” behavior?

When viewing a conversation in the latest iOS app, you are automatically returned to the current end of it every several seconds, which makes reading old posts difficult.

As if it’s refreshing or checking for new messages and forgetting where you were in conversation. I don’t remember this being a problem in the past.

Also, a graphical bug. When composing a long message the text can overlap the send button. The button still works, but it’s hard to see what you’re typing.

Add: I just checked, both of these bugs occur on the web version of Voyager as well.

I'd like to be able to find a list of posts I've actually opened do I can go back and find articles and such that I didn't finish reading. I can't find a way to do this so far but if there is a way I'd be happy to learn!

Just wondering if it would be possible to (have an option to) show who posted each post in the All or Local views.

When creating a posts (with an image) I can't add images to the body field, without all images failing. This works fine when i access lemmy on my browser and used to work fine with Lemmy Connect when i had that, but it seems to be a problem with Voyager

On other apps, when an image or video is posted I can long press on it to copy a direct link to it. The best I could find in Voyager is to copy a link to the lemmy post or open the post in a browser. This makes it hard for me to share memes with friends who don't use Lemmy. But maybe this feature already exists and I don't know where to find it. I just started using Voyager yesterday.
